1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Temozolomide (TMZ) is widely utilized as the primary chemotherapeutic intervention for glioblastoma. However, the clinical use of TMZ is limited by its various side effects and resistance to chemotherapy. The present study revealed the synergistic inhibition of glioblastoma through the combined administration of TMZ and perifosine. This combination therapy markedly diminished BRCA1 expression, resulting in the suppression of DNA repair mechanisms. Furthermore, the combination of TMZ and perifosine elicited caspase-dependent apoptosis, decreasing glioblastoma cell viability and proliferation. The observed synergistic effect of this combination therapy on glioblastoma was validated in vivo, as evidenced by the substantial reduction in glioblastoma xenograft growth following combined treatment with TMZ and perifosine. In recurrent glioma patients, higher BRCA1 expression is associated with worse prognosis, especially the ones that received TMZ-treated. These findings underscore the potent antitumor activity of the AKT inhibitor perifosine when combined with TMZ and suggest that this approach is a promising strategy for clinical glioblastoma treatment.
